A large training provider has changed owners and “removed” its chief executive following an ‘inadequate’ Ofsted judgment.
BCTG Limited was downgraded from ‘good’ to the lowest possible rating in a report published by the watchdog today, which slammed a “lack of focus” on the quality of education amid a “significant strategic decision” to switch from subcontracting to direct delivery.
The provider offers training to almost 2,250 learners and apprentices nationally through multi-million-pound contracts with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). At least one contract has already been terminated in light of Ofsted’s judgment.
Since the inspection last month, BCTG’s owner Chris Luty has handed control of the company to Alan Phillips.
